swap magic is not capable of using gameshark codes or any other codes. You can use GameShark CD with or without the swap magic discs. You can also you codebreaker or magic replay do play the games with cheats

Hi
Ive been trying the same thing because it isnt really fun to play some games without cheating But sadly you cant use gameshark codes with swap magic because the swap magic disk disregards the codes that gameshark put in You can use gameshark to boot the copied games but you have to do so without codes so this dosent work either & 1 added bummer, if you have a version 7 ps2 then the gameshark will not boot copied games at all (at least this goes for v2 of gameshark)

You can use codes with a cdloader just use the Gameshark with codes and put in the cdloader the same way you put in your swap magic disc and press X to start and follow the on screen instructions of the cdloader and the codes will work

socom I didn't know that I'll have to try that. For people who have a version 7 in which the cdloader doesn't work here is how you do it:
1.) Load the Gameshark 2 cd
2.) Using the eject button swap your Gameshark with your Swap Magic 2 DVD Disc or other high toc original and wait about 10 seconds
3.)Go to Gameshark codes
4.) Select the game you want
5.) Select or unselect any code
6.) Press Start
7.) With codes
8.) Press the x button. the disc will stop spinning for about 5 second. Quickly swap your Swap Magic 2 DVD or high toc original with your DVD R backup using the fliptop cover or similar method before the disc starts spinning again.
9.) The game should now load (might be a little slower).

Note: Your Gameshark version must be v2 or under. Version 3 will not work.

Oh... Sorry for the mistake but I just read on this one website that the Gameshark is not compatible with the version 7 what so ever and that it can't play your ps2 backups. The reason I said it would work with the version 7 is cause it didn't require the use of the cdloader. Sorry for the mistake and the bad news but it seems there is no way to use Gameshark codes with the Swap Magic and fliptop cover if you have a version 7 ps2. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]You are probably wondering how I came up with the name Hanedrick. Well... the name Hanedrick is a very distorted version of my sisters name and I call her that whenever I want to get on her nerves which is like 24/7.

Why not use CodeBreaker. It has more codes for games and there site it always updated with new ones. But you need the new CodeBreaker v7 because unlike the older version of codebreaker or the new version of gameshark it has the option to automatically eject the cd tray when boot the game or you can unselect that and say let me do it manually, in which case you should be able to swap with the fliptop

What I would really like to know, does CD loader work with Gameshark and Flip-Top and swap magic. How can I load the cheat codes??? Is there a certain method to follow or is it impossible at this time??? HELP!!!!
